The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.

I'm afraid that in the United States of America today the prevailing doctrine of justification is not justification by faith alone. It is not even justification by good works or by a combination of faith and works. The prevailing notion of justification in our culture today is justification by death. All one has to do to be received into the everlasting arms of God is to die.

When you feel depressed, it helps to actively change your environment. Go and do something different. Martin Luther conquered his depression by going outside to work in his garden. Surprisingly enough, one of the best ways to handle depression is to go to work immediately on the task you least enjoy. (The chances are your depression is caused by guilt feelings arising out of neglect of those tasks.)

Just as the normative standard for the good and for the true is God, so the ultimate standard of beauty is God.

We fall privately before we ever fall publicly.

Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.

We have a tendency to think of GOD being glorified only in the manifestation of his mercy----- He is just as glorified by His justice.
